At first, I hated that album. But I actually like (some of) it now–including this song.

It’s still my least favorite album by Ye though.

I do believe 9 out of 10 will agree w/that statement.

Still love this album. I can understand why others don’t but autotuned be damned, this album was production-wise on point.

I actually liked this album from the jump, especially this song, “Say You Will” and “Paranoid”.

This album is disliked because it wasn’t hip-hop. But for it is, the album is a masterpiece.

I thought this album because I didnt approach it with a hip-hop state of mind….

The beat to this song was totally stolen in a pro-choice commercial.

Listened to it a week ago, definitely grew on me.

And yeah, it was a dope album, but as has already been said, Kanye’s weakest. Amazing, Street Lights, and Coldest Winter were some of my favorites. RoboCop may have had the strongest beat but the hook was too repetitive.

I actually like this album Coldest Winter,Love Lockdown & Amazing are still in rotation. But as most of ya said it’s his worst album. Still Kanye’s worst is still better than most people’s best work.

might sound mad ignant, but I havent voluntarly listened to anything by Kanye since I saw him do “Love Lockdown” at the VMA’s. (except for WTT).

Mind you, I purchased and played THE HELL out of his first three albums (still do), but IDK i just couldn’t fcuk with him after that. *Kanye shrug*

Amazing choice for the iPod Shuffle. Beat is flawless. As for complaints about 808’s..I loved the album from start to finish. Kanye is definitely 5 for 5 with solo albums.

Totally co-sign with this. I thought the album was great personally just for the mood and the way I was feeling at the time.

I own this album and have never listened to it. May have to give it a spin though.

i didn’t listen to this album for a long time, i bought it because it’s Kanye, however, couldn’t vibe with it although Love Lockdown was my ish.

It’s a grower though and I’d take this over MBD….which i listened to once.

this really was an amazing album, especially considering how much it went on to influence the sound of hip hop, from the autotune to the instrumentals, but like Darius said, it didn’t match people’s expectations.

on a completely unrelated note i just had a hellish bus trip from New York to Boston. The worst (or best) part about it was getting back to beantown and realizing they weren’t running some late buses because of the holiday and pleading with a cabbie to give me a ride for five bucks and likfe half a gram of kill. he agreed to it because he said he’d gotten some good tips that night and wanted to pay forward the generosity.

great song. great album. great artists don’t just give the people what they are asking for. they adapt their style. make progressions. my beautiful dark twisted fantasy doesn’t exist without 808s. it will never be kanye’s best album, but it can definitely stand with the others.

Yo Gotty, what’s wrong with this new website/layout? Everytime i scroll down to view the posts the text dissapper. Is it because i am in Africa or what?

==============================
Exactly. Kanye was going through A LOT emotionally when he recorded this album, I guess peolpe tend to forget that. His weakest effort? Nah, it’s fucking great.

this album was sooo sick, all the tracks had such a cold? distant feeling to them with the autotune and dark feel of the beats and songs…I bumped it ALL winter…it will probably forever be my go to for getting through the cold winters in canada lol

This album was alright..everytime I hear “Amazing” all I think about is the NBA and then get depressed bc of the lockout.

I just got my copy of college dropout back after I lost it when I wrecked my car years ago. dont remind me about new Kanye lol. Autotune didnt die because of Jay Z, it died when people learned you could say anything into that T Pain app and have it sound exactly like a hit song on the radio
